I would like to make a last minute proposal. |
12 |
|
13 |
Proposal: |
14 |
|
15 |
I ask the council to establish a procedure / team to moderate the |
16 |
gentoo-project@ and gentoo-dev@ mailing lists: |
17 |
|
18 |
- In general the amount of moderation shall as minimal as possible |
19 |
(in particular developers and long-time contributors |
20 |
unconditionally green-lighted), |
21 |
- but for non-developers abusing the mailing lists for their own |
22 |
agenda their contributions shall be moderated. |
23 |
- Similar to irc operators there shall be a decicated moderator team |
24 |
to ensure a quick and timely response. |
25 |
- The moderator team shall be different from council members, and |
26 |
ideally also comrel, such that these groups can act as a check and |
27 |
balance. |
28 |
|
29 |
Rationale: |
30 |
|
31 |
The gentoo-dev@ and gentoo-project@ mailing lists nowadays serve |
32 |
an important role for Gentoo development (e.g. mandatory announcement, |
33 |
RFCs, PATCH reviews). This function is currently severly impeded due |
34 |
to the high level of noise and unrelated personal agenda [1]. |
35 |

Best, |
